EDIE-HEB FITTING.

* Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June a, 1912. Serial No. 701,317.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL M. SMrrrr,

a citizen of the United States, and a res1- dent of the city of Chicago, county of Cook,

Figurelis a diagrammatic plan View showing a fitting embodying my invention as in position for use, Fig. 2, an enlarged side elevation of a fitting in position of use, and Flg. 3, an enlarged top plan view of a fittlng 1n position of use.

The preferred form of construction, as illustrated in the drawings, comprlses a hollow casing 1 havingalining hubs or nipples 2 and 3 at one end and adapted to receive soil pipesections 4:, as will be readily understood by those skilled in the art. Casing 1s also provided with upwardly extending hubs ornipples 5 and 6 which are adapted to receive the lower ends of vent pipes 7 as shown. Supporting recesses 8 are formed in the upper central portion of casing 1 between nipples 2 and 5, and 5 and 6 and are adapted to receive supporting rails 9. These supporting rails 9 are made of a lengthto span two adjoining joists 10 in the floor of a building, and are connected by means of a bridge 11 which is arranged nearer one end of said supporting rails than the other, or.

in a non-central position. By this arrangement of bridge 11, the supporting rails will be firmly held together and may be inserted in recesses 8 no matter What position the fitting may occupy between the joists 10.

At its end opposite nipples 2 and 3 and adjacent its'top, casing 1 is provided with an outwardly inclined nipple or hub 12 which is arranged at substantially thirty degrees to the side of said casing, as shown. A smaller nipple 13 isarranged in the side of easing 1 between nipple 12 and nipples- 2 and and at an elevation slightly higher than nlpple 12. Nipple 12 is adapted to recelve a waste pipe 14. from an ordinary water-closet bowl 15, and nipple 13 is adapted to receive a waste pipe 16 from a bath tub 17. At its outer end casing 1' is provided with an upwardly and outwardly inclined elongated nipple 18 which is adapted to receive a'waste pipe 19 leading from a washbowl 20. Nipple 18 is extended upwardly sufiiciently to pass above the floor supported by joists 10 so as to facilitate access to said nipple and obviate the necessity of tearing up afloor to give access tosaid nipple. By this arrangement of nipples, it will be observed that the various fixtures in a bath room will readily waste or drain without danger of inducing siphonic action in any of the others, and that said fixtures may be conveniently and expeditiously arranged in the bath room with the watercloset bowl between the washbowl and bath tub, as indicated in Fig. 1, this arrangement being highly desirable in small bathrooms.

When the fitting is inserted in the partition of a bath room, as is frequently done, a T 22 maybe inserted in pipe 19 and serve as a means of connection with a sink or other fixture located on the other side of the partition, as indicated diagrammatically in While I have illustrated and described the Patented Dec. 16, 1913.

my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I,

therefore do not wish to be limited to the exact details of construction set forth. but desire to avall myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of "the appended claim.
